This holiday season, families like Heidi and her three-year-old son Noah are spending the holidays far from …home.
Born with a rare and life-threatening kidney disease, Noah has spent much of his young life in hospitals. For Heidi, that’s meant holidays lived in waiting rooms and hallways — until Ronald McDonald House Toronto became their home away from home.
Here, home is a cozy room just steps from the communal kitchen, where chef-prepared meals are served, children can continue their studies in the in-house school, and families find programs, activities, and quiet moments to reconnect between hospital visits. It’s where hope stays.
Read their story and see how your support brings comfort, connection, and home to families facing the unimaginable.

We’re celebrating our National Partner moneris and their #GoodforSmall campaign, which is shining a …spotlight on the powerful role Canadian small businesses play in their communities — including ours here at Ronald McDonald House Toronto.
This October, Moneris and their small business customers donated $250,000 to support families staying at Ronald McDonald House Chapters across Canada. We are incredibly grateful that $45,973 of that support was directed to Ronald McDonald House Toronto thanks to the generosity of millstreetcheese Market.
We were thrilled to welcome Jackie, Owner of The Mill Street Cheese Market, for a tour of the House and to share a home-cooked mac and cheese meal with families — a warm, comforting moment after long days at the hospital.
Thank you to Moneris and small business owners like Jackie for helping families stay close to the care their child needs. Your care brings stability, comfort, and connection when families need it most.

We were so pleased to be part of Miracle Day this morning with our friends at cibc — and to help ring the …bell to open the day of trading at cboecanada!
A meaningful start to a meaningful day.
Miracle Day reminds us how powerful a community can be when we come together with one shared purpose: supporting families with seriously ill children.
At Ronald McDonald House Toronto, we provide a home away from home for families travelling to Toronto for their child’s medical care — keeping them close to treatment, to each other, and to hope.
For more than 40 years, CIBC has stood beside us, contributing over $1.5 million locally, supporting volunteer teams at our House, and granting more than $30 million through Miracle Day to child-focused charities — a true testament to shared values and lasting impact.
When families stay at Ronald McDonald House Toronto, they don’t have to worry about where they’ll sleep or how they’ll find their next meal — they can focus on what matters most: caring for their child. This support helps make that possible. Thank you, CIBC, for believing in the strength of families and the power of community.
